Key Of G

[D]It was Christmas [G]Eve babe In the [C]drunk tank

An old man [G]said to me, won't see a[D]nother one
And then he [G]sang a song The Rare Old [C]Mountain Dew
And I turned my [G]face away And dreamed a[Dsus4]bout [G]you,,[D]
Got on a [G]lucky one
I've got a [G]feeling
So happy [G]Christmas
I can see a [G]better

Came in eigh[C]teen to one

This year's for [D]me and you
I love you[C] baby
time When all our dreams [Dsus4]come [G]true

They've [G]got cars Big as [D]bars

They've got [Em]rivers of [C]gold But the [G]wind goes
Right through you It's no place for the [D]old
When you [G]first took my [Em]hand on a [G]cold Christmas [C]Eve
You [G]promised me Broadway was [D]waiting for [G]me
You were [G]handsome You were pretty
Queen Of New York [D]City When the [G]band finished [C]playing They [D]howled ou
t for [G]more
Si[G]natra was swinging, All the drunks they were [D]singing
We [G]kissed on the [C]corner Then [D]danced through the [G]night
The [C]Boys of the NYPD choir were [G]singing 'Galway [Em]Bay'
And the [G]bells were [C]ringing [D]Out for Christmas [G]day
[G]You're a bum You're a punk
You're an old slut on [D]junk Lying [G]there almost [C]dead on a [D]drip
In that [G]bed
You [G]scum bag You maggot You cheap lousy [D]faggot
Happy [G]Christmas you [C]arse I pray [D]God
It's our [G]last.
The [C]Boys of the NYPD choir were [G]singing 'Galway [Em]Bay'
And the [G]bells were [C]ringing [D]Out for Christmas [G]day.
I [D]could have [G]been someone So could [C]anyone
You took my [G]dreams From me when I first [D]found you
I kept them [G]with me babe I put them [C]with my own
Can't make it [G]all alone I've built my [C]dreams a[D]round [G]you.
The [C]Boys of the NYPD choir were [G]singing 'Galway [Em]Bay'
And the [G]bells were [C]ringing [D]Out for Christmas [G]day.
